Smh. Just take the belts away already, and be done with it.

[imperial1]

How much kick backs do,these clowns at the WBC get from Floyd ? I mean this is just rediculous !

[Luilun]

IF you fight Mayweather make sure you use steroids and Saline too to make it an even fight

[Build That Wall]

Mayweather gonna fight Canelo if he makes weight.

[FLYBOY]

Amir Khan is #1 at WBC.
Danny Garcia is #2 at WBC.

These two can now fight each other for the vacant WBC title.

Great fight. Whoever wins can then face Mayweather....

[MrRolltide91]

Lmao...

Dude is retired... Or maybe the WBC knows something we don't know, and floyd is coming back for #50

Its the samething they did to vitali

Floyd New Status means he is champ, but if he comes back he can fight for title

I like how GGG praised the choice.

WBC is making good moves.

This frees up belts, but if Floyd comes back, he can fight the champ for belt.

This belt is a back up just in case mayweather wants to come back and the wbc stays in his good grace

While letting others fight to be real champ.

Lol - hasn't defended 154 in 2+ years but still keeps champ status; and we're supposed to believe WBC will force Canelo or Cotto to defend it against their silly interim champ?

Floyd will come back, pending a silly Pacquiao win against someone, even though he shouldn't be fighting anymore and secure another $50-100M payday.

They hype will be ridiculous, but not warranted - the rhetoric will be shameful...

And I'll watch anyways

I hate boxing

If he comes back, the only way he can fight PAC for the belts is if PAC wins the Belt in Khan matchup. What's wrong with that.

As for Canelo, Actually, yes. This move seems to indicate they will do exactly that.

This vacates Mayweather's title, while if he comes back, he can fight for them, but doesn't automatically get them back.

The WBC and GGG have signed agreement with Cotto/Canelo. The WBC will very much strip the winner if they don't either fight or vacate.

And they won't automatically give Canelo Emeritus. It's not how it works, and it would be a PR **** storm.

the desperation to keep alvared from losing is at a all time high. goldenboys top fighters have lost. little G beat down one and the exciting mathysse quit. if alvared loses then the company is in trouble. thats why oscar will never allow canela to fight at 160

Likely, but this move doesn't help Canelo in any way.

Mayweather gonna fight Canelo if he makes weight.

Mayweather has said he has no interest in Canelo.

I don't see why he should.

If he wants money, PAC is the best option.

Canelo won't have a title to offer him, so it's really pointless to fight him if you're Floyd.

[HanzGruber]

I can understand not taking away 147 right away since Floyd will prob change his mind. But he's had 154 for way too long

[FLYBOY]

And if Khan actually gets the Pacquiao fight, Garcia most likely ends up fighting #4 Guerrero for the vacant title since #3 Shawn Porter is most likely facing Keith Thurman for the WBA title.

If Khan does indeed fight Pac, would a #2 be allowed to fight for the title by fighting #4 ?

I wonder if u guys know what champion emeritus means? It's an honorary title. The belts are essentially open. Why is everyone belly aching..
